Re: Katheryn Gail is in the hospital: Please Pray

April 19, 2002

Hello Ruth!

If I was in the area I definetly would drop by to see her but I will lift her up

in prayer. When I was working for the oncology practice; my md was affiliated with St ph's Hospital here in Atlanta. The nurses dressed

like little nuns ( they looked adorable ); anyhow, for people that didn't have anyone to come by they had some staff members to pay them a

visit and pray with them. I thought that was very nice and sweet of them.

Maybe that location can offer the same until someone can go by. Take

Care !

Anyway, Katheryn is at St. ph's hospital in Bellingham and she would love to hear from people. Sorry this is so long, just thought you all would like to be praying for Katheryn, she is also new to the support group like myself. We aren't sure but we think we are in a small group representing people with AIH in the Pacific Northwest area. Thanks everyone for being there, you mean a lot to me, you already feel like family. Katheryn feels the same way, this group has given us hope.Ruth, AIH, dx, 3/02

I hope all goes well with Katheryn. Please tell her we are thinking about

her.

Tony,

Thanks so much for the kind note. I will send a copy. I

appreciate your idea. I think it means a lot to that we

are all pulling for her. I am glad you can have your time with your

family soon. I will be praying for you, that can be hard at times

when family has certain expectations, I hope you will have a precious

time together. I think it is so neat how you are proactively seeking

answers and you are staying in the race towards wellness.

God Bless,

Ruth
